When we let our talents speak for us, the world smiles. Creative Soul, Cara, uses her gifts to convey the raw reality of the human experience, revealing hints of fables and life’s lessons in her avant-garde artwork that evokes curiosity and joy.
Native to Port St. Lucie, Florida, Cara is a modern-day artist and graphic designer, specializing in portrait art, semi-realism, and surrealism, ranging from digital to traditional fine art. She’s also an avid D&D player, getting to co-create back-stories and the characters for the campaigns.
Cara loves bringing ideas to life, memorializing special moments, and working with commissions to actualize anyone’s visions, including portraits for couples, animals, families, and more. Her services include commissions, logos, design work, book covers, and murals.
As a kid, Cara was naturally drawn to the creative arts, self-learning how to play the flute and piano, and also joining her school band, earning 1st chair position. Her dad got her a light box for tracing images, becoming fascinated by the possibilities found in drawing. This sparked her interest in art, getting into any art class possible, receiving acclamations from teachers, and becoming clear that she wanted to do just that. Cara got a BA in Graphic Design from Indian River State College in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Some of Cara’s eye-boggling oeuvre includes Spiderman, a stippling piece inspired by nostalgia and grief, expressing that we can’t be put into a mold. Her work includes metaphorical imagery, interpreting life and death, encouraging us to live life to the fullest, as we might get hung up in material things, and the incorporation of skulls in her art is a memento mori– not to be afraid of the unavoidable in life: death.
One of Cara’s beloved artworks received a Silver ADDY American Advertising Award –a typography sketch, inspired by her name. In 2026, Cara had a mini exhibit at the St. Lucie County Fair, as part of the Creative Souls Garden expo.
As the journey of the artist goes with its ups and downs, Cara has struggled with self-doubt for some time. She questioned her worth, afraid of falling short as an artist, but “I figured out that all I wanted to do was bring happiness to the owners of my art,” Cara explains, adding that “we all have something dark, but it doesn’t need to stop us from shining our light or define us as a person.” Cara keeps learning from each experience and growing each step of the way, persevering with a heart full of magical colors.
“Keep going no matter what! Push through the bad times, dust yourself off, and keep going.” –Cara
